Does he think those 'you did me wrong' posts have any impact?

Sundowning, bed time meds not working.

In the real world, on this forum and others, such a tirade would earn the poster a major posts delete and permanent ban.

Not in American politics, it seems.

The sufferer is prone to bouts of hyperactivity, always in the small hours of the morning, and doses all daylight time to compensate.

(Wife has dementia. Wakes me up at 1 am, 3 am, 7 am to tell me something highly important to her. Then doses most of the day.)

Every shift we go to care homes and help treat and transport dementia patients.
My moms getting to that stage maybe. I have a deep sympathy for both the patient and the family after so many years. And the care givers we meet are amazing.
Trump and his grifting Republican friends and billionaires trying to take away healthcare just makes me furious.

Afraid his many enemies want to do him wrong. (They do.)

But a massive rant on 'social' media won't help.

It just reinforces the idea he has lost the plot and isn't coping.

Whatever he was expecting from the POTUS job, be it global admiration, immortality, untold riches - it isn't happening for him.

I feel sorry for anyone whose ambitions far outstrip their talents, because disaster awaits them.
Not in this case though. No sympathy from me.
